Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way we interact with technology.One of the most exciting developments in AI is ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence language model based on the GPT3.5 architecture.ChatGPT has the potential to innovate the way we communicate and process information, and its capabilities are only beginning to be understood.
One of the most impressive features of ChatGPT is its ability to learn from vast amounts of text data.This allows it to understand and provide responses to a wide range of topics and questions, from science and technology to entertainment and sports.It is capable of dealing with texts in a variety of natural languages, including English, Spanish, and Chinese.It is not limited to a specific set of data or rules, but rather has the capacity to learn and develop gradually based on the input it receives.
Moreover, ChatGPT has been applied in diverse settings, from chatbots and virtual assistants to language translation and content generation.For example, ChatGPT has been used to generate news articles, poetry, and even song lyrics.It has also been used in healthcare to assist with diagnosing and treating patients.
Despite its many benefits, ChatGPT is not perfect.Like all machine learning models, it can sometimes make mistakes or generate responses that are inappropriate or offensive.So users should be cautious to use it.
In conclusion, ChatGPT is a powerful tool that has the potential to transform the way we communicate and process information.While it is still a relatively new technology, its capabilities are already being explored in different settings.As the technology continues to develop, it is important for developers and users to be aware of its limitations and to use it responsibly.If used wisely, ChatGPT could be a major step forward in the development of artificial intelligence and the way we interact with technology.

Parenting styles have changed over the years in response to the rapid changes in the world.Whether it is tapping technology or applying the best parenting practices to meet a parenting need,parents nowadays generally invest more time in finding out how best to raise their children.
Modern parents often look to the internet and social media for parenting advice.The availability of resources has helped modern parents engage more in their children's development,both academically and emotionally.Modern parents are also more eager to find out effective parenting methods to help them raise disciplined and confident children.
A modern parenting style that has emerged is helicopter parenting,where parents are much too focused on their children.They help children with tasks they're capable of doing on their own,like selecting activities and friends for them,or calling their teachers about homework matters.Such a parenting style can hold back the development of the children's ability to handle responsibilities independently.Children might be illequipped with life skills such as doing laundry (洗衣),clearing their plates or coping with their schoolwork.Always protecting children from failures may also prevent them developing adaptability and acquiring skills like problemsolving.
On the other hand,parents in the past tended to monitor less.Children were given more control over how to manage their schoolwork and choose their friends.Domestic helpers were also not the norm then.Hence children of the past were often expected to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for younger brothers and sisters and managing housework.Living in the preinternet age,parents were less informed about different parenting methods,and their parenting styles were guided more by their personalities,common sense and friendly advice from the extended family and neighbors,rather than by social media influences or parenting websites.
There is no one right way to raise a child.Each child is unique and should be raised differently by parents who are present but not wandering,who are supportive but not controlling,and who protect but not care too much.

A.Employing. B.Tracking.
C.Monitoring. D.Identifying.
A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的内容“applying the best parenting practices”可知,画线词与后文的applying构成并列结构,表示“利用技术”。
9.What is a distinctive characteristic of helicopter parenting?
A.Flexible. B.Efficient.
C.Conventional. D.Overinvolved.
D 推理判断题。根据第三段中前两句可知,“直升机式育儿”的显著特征是在孩子的活动中,父母参与得太多。
10.What do we know about parents in the past?
A.They educated kids in a rigid way.
B.They overestimated their kids' independence.
C.They afforded kids more space for selfgrowth.
D.They tended to stay away from social activities.
C 细节理解题。根据第四段中前两句可知,过去的父母对孩子监督较少,给予孩子更多的空间。
11.What does the text mainly tell us?
A.How to raise allround children.
B.How to enhance parentchild bonds.

Have you ever wished you could be better organised or more sociable? Perhaps you're a constant worrier,and you'd prefer to be a little more carefree?
Many surveys show that at least twothirds of people would like to change some elements of their personality.In the past,such desires appeared to be unachievable.Like the proverbial leopard that could never change its spots,our virtues and flaws were believed to be woven into the fabric of our minds.
Recent scientific research,however,proves this expectation of personality's permanence wrong.With the right psychological strategies and enough effort,many people can successfully shape their core personalities into what they desire.
Our genes almost certainly play a role:it's why people's personalities often reflect their biological parents' ones.The influence of our social environment was thought to end in early adulthood,as the brain reached maturity.If this were true,it wouldn't be possible to shift personality at will.Yet that is exactly what psychology professor Nathan Hudson and his colleagues have shown with a series of groundbreaking studies.
The interventions in their studies typically involve arranging regular activities that reflect the personalities people wish to adopt.A quiet person who wished to be more outgoing,for example,might have the goal of introducing themselves to a stranger once a week,or making small talk with the cashier at their local supermarket.
The aim is for the thinking patterns and behaviours they generate to become habitual.In the first trial,provided participants actually completed those arranged tasks,their personalities shifted in the desired direction.Similarly exciting results could be seen in a later trial.The differences of participants' personalities before and after the intervention were still apparent three months after the experiment had ended.As Aristotle argued more than 2,300 years ago,we become what we repeatedly do.
The unexpected plasticity of our minds should be good news for anyone who wishes they were a bit more sociable,organised,or happygolucky.Another potential benefit is that awareness of this research could help improve mental health.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。最近的科学研究证明,通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力,许多人可以成功地将他们的核心个性塑造成他们想要的样子。
12.Why is “leopard” mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.To explain that our minds consist of virtues and flaws.
B.To show the similarity between leopards and human beings.
C.To prove a possibility that people can change their personality.
D.To demonstrate the previous belief that personalities remain fixed.
D 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可推知,在第二段提到了“豹”是为了证明先前的观点,即人格是固定的。
13.What can be inferred about the “interventions”?
A.The two trials reached different conclusions.
B.Activities are tailored to specific personalities.
C.The purpose is to better people's personalities.
D.People's personalities can be changed but can't last.
B 推理判断题。根据第五段可推知,活动是为特定的个性量身定制的。
14.What has Nathan Hudson's team shown through their studies?
A.The previous expectation of personality's permanence was confirmed.
B.The influence of our social environment ends when the brain matures.
C.The desire to change some elements of our personality can be achieved.
D.Our genes play a greater role in our personality than social environment.
C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知,内森·哈德森的团队通过他们的研究表明了改变我们个性的某些元素的愿望是可以实现的。
15.What is the best title for the text?
A.We Are What We Do
B.Habits Make Things Easier
C.Your Personality Is Not Set in Stone
D.A Leopard Never Changes Its Spots
C 标题归纳题。根据第三段内容可知,文章主要介绍了最近的科学研究证明,这种对人格持久性的期望是错误的。通过正确的心理策略和足够的努力,许多人可以成功地将他们的核心个性塑造成他们想要的样子,C选项“你的性格不是一成不变的”最适合作文章标题。

Tips on Preventing a SportsRelated Injury
Playing sports is a great way to exercise,and that doesn't have to stop once you're an adult.1(____) But when we're active,we also increase the chance of getting injuries.
These injuries are painful and often require missing games and practices to give your body the proper rest and care needed to recover.Unfortunately,a previous injury is one of the most significant predictors of a future injury.2(____)
Here are some injury prevention tips:
3(____) Talk with your doctor about any past sports injuries during your next checkup or before the next season starts.Your doctor can recommend corrective exercises to help you be more resistant to a future injury.
Be aware of the environment and field conditions.Environment doesn't just mean the weather,although that is important,but also how safely teammates and the opponents are playing.4(____) Ice or wet spots or holes can set the stage for a fall and result in an injury.
Watch for athletic sportsmanship.When athletes don't play by the rules or play too aggressively,an injury is more likely to occur.Watch to ensure officials and members of the other team demonstrate a good understanding of fair play.
Recognize an injury.Despite our best efforts,an injury can happen.5(____) Take yourself out of the game and have the injury assessed so it doesn't get worse.Before going back into the game,give yourself time to heal completely and develop a strategy to prevent the injury from happening again.
By taking these smart steps to avoid (and if necessary,address) injuries,you can set the stage for a lifelong,healthy love of sports.
A.Assess potential injuries.
B.Arrange for an athletic screening.
C.Sporting activities may result in any type of injury.
D.Sports is an ideal way to socialize and maintain fitness.
E.Also,check out the field or court where you're playing.
F.If it does,it's very important to address it immediately.
G.That's why injury prevention—not just treatment or recovery—is key.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了预防运动损伤的几点建议。
1.D 根据空前的“Playing sports is a great way to exercise,and that doesn't have to stop once you're an adult.”可知,运动是很好的锻炼方式,而空后“But when we're active,we also increase the chance of getting injuries.”中的but表明,此空与下文内容为转折关系, D选项“Sports is an ideal way to socialize and maintain fitness.”讲述的是锻炼是社交和保持健康的理想方式,符合语境。
2.G 此处应对该段进行总结,根据空前的“Unfortunately,a previous injury is one of the most significant predictors of a future injury.”可知,旧伤可能是未来受伤的一个重要的预测因素之一,由此可知,此空对上文内容做进一步的陈述,故选G。
3.B 此空处为该段小标题,与其他段落的小标题均应为祈使句,根据空后的“Talk with your doctor about any past sports injuries during your next checkup or before the next season starts.”可知,此处涉及的是检查过去的运动损伤时的内容,故选B。
4.E 根据小标题“Be aware of the environment and field conditions.”可知,该段讲述的与运动环境和场地有关系,E选项“Also,check out the field or court where you're playing.”讲述的内容与查看运动场地有关,与本段主题吻合。故选E。
5.F 根据该段主题句“Recognize an injury.”可知,该段讲述的是受伤后要辨别一下受伤情况,结合空前的“Despite our best efforts,an injury can happen.”可知,该空讲述的应为万一受伤应如何处理,F选项中的if it does与空前内容承接自然。故选F项。

Throughout all the events in my life,one in particular sticks out more than the others.As I reflect on this significant event,a smile spreads across my face.As I think of Shanda,I feel loved and grateful.
It was my twelfth year of dancing,I thought it would end up like any other year:stuck in emptiness,forgotten and without the belief of any teacher or friend that I really had the potential to achieve greatness.
However,I met Shanda,a young,talented choreographer (编舞者).She influenced me to work to the best of my ability,pushed me to keep going when I wanted to give up,encouraged me and showed me the real importance of dancing.Throughout our hard work,not only did my ability to dance grow,but my friendship with Shanda grew as well.
With the end of the year came our show time.As I walked to a backstage filled with other dancers,I hoped for a good performance that would prove my improvement.I waited anxiously for my turn.Finally,after what seemed like days,the loudspeaker announced my name.Butterflies filled my stomach as I took trembling steps onto the big lighted stage.But,with the determination to succeed and eagerness to live up to Shanda,expectations for me,I began to dance.All my troubles and nerves went away as I danced my whole heart out.
As I walked up to the judge to receive my first place shining,gold trophy (奖杯),I realized that dance is not about becoming the best.It was about loving dance for dance itself,a getaway from all my problems in the world.Shanda showed me that you could let everything go and just dance what you feel at that moment.After all the doubts that people had in me,I believed in myself and did not care what others thought.Thanks to Shanda,dance became more than a love of mine,but a passion.

Imagine a plate holding two strawberries,identical in appearance.One came out of a supermarket box,meaning it was probably harvested when it was still unripe.By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the vine for two weeks.The other strawberry was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten.
Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages:they are convenient and still available even in winter months.But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing music in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old CD player.The homegrown fruit is an eatable case for making a home garden.
Your columnist,who long considered gardening a complete waste of time,advances this argument with great enthusiasm.Planting coolweather greens,as gardeners across the northeast of America are now doing,can seem nonsense,since convenient,continuously wellstocked supermarket shelves are available all week.But the same could be said of cooking:there are many cheap and decent restaurants around,so why bother to make your own meals?
That attitude misconstrues the ultimate appeal of gardening:it mistakes the product for the purpose.It is true that a garden can produce tomatoes and carrots of incomparable sweetness,and celtuce and herbs that taste like themselves rather than the plastic they are usually packaged in.While finding,let's say,celtuce in the shops can take some time,effort,and expense,growing your own vegetables ensures a reliable supply.
On the other hand,a garden,especially in the early years,can produce little but frustration. Green hands may plant the wrong crops for their soil.And even expert gardeners can lose a season's harvest to uncooperative weather.
No matter.The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it.The deepest pleasure—as with cooking,writing or almost anything worthwhile—is in the work itself.To garden is to patiently,lovingly and diligently help life become strong and healthy,in the ground and above it.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章以超市里的草莓为例,论述了自己对从事园艺的看法。
5.What can we know about the supermarket strawberries?
A.They look distinct from homegrown ones.
B.They give out pleasant and fresh smell.
C.They are picked days before fully grown.
D.They are planted typically in winter.
C 细节理解题。根据第一段中“One came out of a supermarket box...off the vine for two weeks.”可知,超市里的草莓在完全长大前几天采摘。
6.What does the underlined word “misconstrues” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Misinterprets. B.Transforms.
C.Mistrusts. D.Highlights.
A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“the ultimate appeal of gardening:it mistakes the product for the purpose”可知,这种态度错误地把产品当成了目的,即这种态度误解了园艺的最终吸引力。故画线词意思是“误解”。
7.Why does the author mention the failures in gardening?
A.To warn readers not to take up gardening easily.
B.To advise readers to work in harmony with nature.
C.To make readers reflect on the methods of gardening.
D.To help readers have a whole picture of gardening.
D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可推知,作者提到园艺上的失败是为了帮助读者对园艺有一个全面的了解。
8.What is the author's opinion on gardening?
A.It's a difficult and timeconsuming process.
B.Products of gardening make it worthwhile.
C.The time and efforts invested make it a delight.
D.It reduces the cost of purchasing vegetables.
C 观点态度题。根据最后一段可知,作者认为对园艺投入的时间和精力使它成为一种乐趣。

Back pain can make it difficult for many people to function in everyday life.1(____) If you suffer from back pain,read on for four everyday fixes.
Our bodies need adequate movement throughout the day to avoid the stiffness that contributes to aches and pains.If the weather is good,don't hunt for the nearest parking spot;don't take the elevator when you have the option of one or two flights of stairs.When you need to sit for long periods,set a timer to get up every hour and be active for just a few minutes.2(____)
When we overuse our dominant side,we create muscle patterns of weakness and tension that increase pain,especially in our backs.Consider the actions you take repeatedly throughout the day that shift your weight to one side.3(____) And use your opposite hand every so often for basic activities,such as opening doors.
Psychological stress is a noted risk factor for back pain,according to research.Most mental stress is caused by focusing on the past or future.4(____) A few minutes a day of mindfulness can go a long way toward minimizing the impact of stress.Additionally,mindfulness practices like tai chi have all shown effectiveness in reducing back pain.
5(____) That is,you can create a game plan of daily activities to practice for back health.If your back hurts at the end of the day,don't just decide it was a “bad” day.Ask yourself if you practiced the activities to help you avoid the stress and tension.Taking an active,dailylife approach to maintaining a healthy body is the key to keeping back pain at bay.
A.Switch sides when you carry things.
B.It affects how you move,feel and think.
C.You should learn more about the cause of your pain.
D.Approach the health of your back as a responsibility.
E.So actively being mindful of the present reduces stress.
F.You'd better take a quick break to check in with your breathing.

3.A 根据上下文可知,上文提到“考虑一下你每天重复做的那些让你的体重向一边转移的动作”,即换边使用手,故A选项“拿东西的时候换一边”符合语境,故选A。
4.E 根据上文“Psychological stress is a noted risk factor for back pain,according to research.Most mental stress is caused by focusing on the past or future.”可知,本句与上文构成因果关系,指出应关注当下。故E选项“所以积极地关注当下可以减少压力”符合语境,故选E。
5.D 根据下文可知,下文提到制定一个日常活动的游戏计划来练习背部健康,即把保持背部健康看作一项任务或是责任。故D选项“把保持背部健康视为一种责任”符合语境,故选D。

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究表明,影响体重变化的最大因素是饮食的量和频率,而不是从第一顿饮食到最后一顿饮食的间隔时间,该研究发现挑战了间歇性禁食作为一种有用的减肥策略的流行趋势。
1.finding 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,句子成分完整,空处用动词ing形式作结果状语,故填finding。
2.frequency 考查词性转换。分析句子可知,空处和size并列作介词by的宾语,用名词形式,故填frequency。
3.as 考查介词。结合常识可知,间歇性禁食常被当作一种有用的减肥策略,空处应用介词as,表示“当作”。故填as。
4.are consumed 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句子在解释间歇性禁食的内涵,是一般性的事实,应用一般现在时,空处作从句的谓语,和主语all meals之间是被动关系,又因为主语为复数,故填are consumed。
5.there 考查there be句型。分析句子可知,reveals后面接了省略了that的宾语从句,从句中表示两者之间没有关联,应用there be句型,故填there。
6.ours 考查代词。分析句子可知,空处作介词including的宾语,表示“我们的研究”,应用名词性物主代词。故填ours。
7.an 考查冠词。分析句子可知,空处表示泛指,意为“一个,一种”,应用不定冠词,且instant发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
8.what 考查表语从句。分析句子可知,suggests后接了省略了that的宾语从句,从句中缺少表语,表语从句中缺少主语,指物,故填what。
9.seen 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,that引导的表语从句中主要成分完整,空处作benefits的后置定语,且see和benefits之间为被动关系,故填seen。
10.to lose 考查固定搭配。固定短语expect to do sth,表示“期待做……”,故填to lose。
